Chapter 1,325 A banquet for wealthy families(2/2)
It is definitely an exaggeration to say that "a scholar will die for his confidant", but these people will undoubtedly cooperate with his requests to the best of their ability.
In this way, several main crew members worked together, and the filming progress of the movie was naturally guaranteed.
Otherwise, with his temporary idea, he could assemble the crew in the capital in just a few days.
That is simply impossible.
However, in fact, Ning Weimin did just that.
In the four days from June 20 to June 23, 1987, even the actors and the creative team all obeyed his orders and obeyed his instructions. They willingly put down what they were doing and rushed to the capital from all over the country.
Not to mention Teresa Teng, Minoru Funaki, Toichi Nakai, Yutaka Osawa, Ken Utsui, Tomokazu Miura, Haruko Sawaguchi, Qianyu Weng, and Yao Peifang who came from Japan.
Even in Hong Kong City, Liang Jiahui, who was specially invited by Ning Weimin, also rushed to film the first movie "Prison" that he had just successfully come back to, and successfully abducted the little-known actor Zhou Xingchi who was requested by Ning Weimin. , we flew together overnight.
Then they met with Zun Long, Cen Chong, Wu Junmei, Xiang, Zhang Qiang, and Cui Jian who had just finished filming "The Last Emperor" in the capital.
Finally, many local actors from the capital and actors from the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series also joined the filming team.
Chen Peisi, Chen Baoguo, Hu Yajun, Ma Shuchao, Wang Bozhao, Lin Fangbing, Zhang Weixin, Chen Xiaoxu, Yin Xin, Deng Jie, Shen Lin... all included.
As for what exactly are these people gathering together to take pictures of?
Of course, Ning Weimin had already had mature ideas.
To put it simply, it’s just four words – banquet for the wealthy.
What he meant was that he planned to use the wedding tent that Yunyuan had set up to stage a story about the first encounter between the male and female protagonists in "Crazy Rich Asians."
In this plot, the role played by Teresa Teng is just a little singer who sings for wealthy families just to earn money for studying abroad.
However, Zunlong's character is the eldest son of Singapore's wealthy Yang family, and he is one of the invited relatives and friends.
It's just that Zun Long went on stage to perform Peking Opera to celebrate his distant relatives, but was misunderstood by Teresa Teng and became a singer-songwriter with the same fate.
And Zunlong did not pierce this layer of window paper, but instead took on this new identity.
Backstage, I helped each other with Teresa Teng and happily chatted with her.
He deliberately skipped the banquet and only ate the actors' meals to conceal his true identity.
The two of them had a vague fondness for each other until the end of the show because they felt so connected.
Finally, they left each other's contact information in the garden and said goodbye.
It was precisely because of this experience that Zun Long secretly ran to France to escape the pressure from his family, and the two of them soon reunited in France.
In this way, a rich boy who evaded family responsibilities and a poor girl who was kept in the dark began their romance in a foreign country.
Needless to say, Yun Yuan’s gorgeous scenery is ready-made, as is the venue.
Even the crew members and actors were surprised by the beautiful scenery and the size of the courtyard.
Everyone was astonished by the pomp and splendor of the wedding tent and the sumptuousness of the wedding banquet.
But the most difficult part has been solved. It is not difficult to shoot this kind of plot directly.
Just shoot more real-life footage on Ning Weimin's day and edit it at the end.
Especially how beautiful it is that everyone can watch Ning Weimin's wedding day and have a real wedding drink. Everyone is very relaxed.
Even many actors from Mainland China regard this filming as a big deal. They eat and drink for free and receive red envelopes. They can also appear in an international masterpiece of such a scale. How beautiful.
And it doesn't matter if the scenes between Teresa Teng and Zun Lung are not delicate enough.
It's not difficult at all to find time to take a single photoshoot.
But to be honest, it is precisely this relaxed atmosphere of the group scene that conceals the real purpose of the scene.
Ning Weimin is actually doing product placement to advertise his Yunyuan.
As long as there is this drama, the rooms here are destined to be more popular and the prices will be higher.
In addition, of course no one will know that Teresa Teng is here nominally for filming.
But in fact, under the arrangement of Ning Weimin, he contacted the mainland Spring Festival Gala program crew under the pretext of filming.
They are secretly negotiating with each other about the plan to perform on stage at next year's Spring Festival Gala.
In 1988, whether the national audience could see Teresa Teng performing live on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala was entirely determined by the outcome of the secret talks over the past few days.
In other words, Ning Weimin is relying on his own efforts to change the direction of history and make up for historical regrets.
Can he do it?
